A Naval Biographical Dictionary/Warner, Arthur Lee
WARNER. (Commander, 1821.)
Arthur Lee Warner died in 1848. He was son, we believe, of the late Henry Lee Warner, Esq., of Walsingham Abbey, co. Norfolk, who assumed the surnames and arms of Lee-Warner, in lieu of his patronymic, Woodward, on inheriting the extensive estates of his cousin, Henry Lee-Warner, Esq., of Walsingham Abbey.
This officer entered the Navy, 22 Oct. 1804, on board the Princess of Orange 74. He served afterwards in the Nassau 64, Kent 74, Nymphen 36, and Defiance and Vigo 74’s; and on 6 Dec. 1813, he was made Lieutenant, we think, into the Antelope 50, Capt. Sam. Butcher. His next appointments were, 21 Sept. and 3 Oct. 1815, to the Amphion 32 and Magicienne 42, in the latter of which ships he continued employed, in the manner shown in our memoir of her Captain, John Brett Purvis, until paid off in July, 1819. He was confirmed a Commander 22 Nov. 1821 (a few months after he had been ordered to act as such) in the Esk 20, on the West India station, whence he returned in 1824. He remained thenceforward on half-pay.
